I am going to marry soon. By Allah’s grace we have done the contract of marriage few days ago, but now I am in debt and there are some instalments to be paid. Am I permitted to take a loan from the bank I am dealing with, in order to pay this debt and instalments, knowing that I will pay this loan in instalments and with interest? I know that this is a Riba loan, but I am obliged to do many things in the near future, I have to furbish my flat. Of course I will not be able to pay all the debt and instalments at the same time as furbishing my flat. This is really a very big burden I am not able to financially bear it. Is the loan I am going to take halal or haram?.

To slaughter chickens in an abattoir, they put one thousand chickens under one machine and say “bismillah” only once then they slaughter all of them at once. They wash all of them in one big pot without changing the water, thus every time they wash a chicken this makes the whole water unclean. What is the ruling on eating these chickens? If we buy the chicken uncooked so that we wash it does it become halal? And what if it was cooked in restaurants for example, as they do not wash the chickens before cooking them?.

Is it true that the Sunnah allows one who is newly married to pray at home during the first week of marriage and not take part in congregational prayers? What is the evidence for that?.

There is a man whose mother reached the age of approximately 80 years. She suffered from a stomach disease and was sick for two years, then she passed away. He did ghusl for her, as an act of kindness and honour on his part; he did not need to do that as there were others who could do it. What is the right thing to do? May Allaah reward you with good.

The School of Pharmacy, the Neag School of Education and the School of Fine Arts volunteered to have individual commencement ceremonies this year in an effort to reduce crowds at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and to personalize commencement.

"The ten deans in the Council [of Deans] were discussing how we could make improvements to make it a student-centered commencement," said David Woods, the Dean of Fine Arts.

For most, YouTube is a diverse collection of meaningless but humorous videos: a squirrel waterskiing, a dog talking or even a two-year-old swearing. But for one recent UConn graduate, YouTube proved more practical as a gateway to a career in Hollywood.

Paul Gulyas, who graduated from UConn last May and childhood friend Joe Sabia, who grew up in Milford and graduated from Boston College, fused a passion for the TV show "The Soprano's" with artistic creativity to create "7-Minute Sopranos," according to an interview with both Gulyas and Sabia.

College students have many opportunities upon graduation. Many go on to pursue their Master's degree in graduate school, others begin their careers in the job market, and others choose an alternate route, such as working to eliminate one of the nation's most pressing problem - educational inequality - with Teach for America (TFA).

Versatile British writer, Fay Weldon, will be the keynote speaker for 4,500 graduating students at two of the University of Connecticut's undergraduate commencement ceremonies today.

Weldon, who has written everything from novels to children's stories to screen plays, will address the crowds of students, parents and faculty in Gampel Pavilion at 10 a.

Some students are scrambling for the summer to secure interviews for internships, sifting through pages of entry-level positions on careerbuilder.com and calling back cards from last-minute career fairs, while others are weighing their options on which job offers to take.

It's senior day at the UConn Softball Field.

The sun beams down on the Huskies for one of the first times this season as a cool, crisp breeze blows in from the east; it's ideal softball conditions. The type of weather wedding and birthday party-goers dream of, perfect for a celebration.

This 2006-2007 sports season at UConn has without a doubt been a memorable one. Like every year, each team had its ups and downs, but there is often that one defining moment that sticks out each season. Here are the top 10 moments this year in UConn sports.

Two weeks ago at the UConn Select Invite, two athletes stepped onto the Sherman Family-Sports Complex for what would be the final home meet of their collegiate careers.

All-American Jillian Sullivan approached the start-line and awaited the gun shot that would set her free in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

It is both ironic and inconvenient how sometimes even the brightest of days can quickly have a series of dark and ominous clouds roll in on it.
One nagging injury can lead to another serious one for many baseball pitchers.
For the former winner of the Hartford Courant's 'Best of the Best' award for pitching in high school, Brendan McGinn had what looked like the most promising of careers in front of him.

When the buzzer rang on March 16, the 2006-2007 season of UConn hockey came to a heartbreaking end as the Huskies lost, 3-1, to Army in the Atlantic Hockey tournament semifinals.

For senior captain Matt Scherer, it was the heartbreaking end to a four-year chapter of his life - one that, when it finished, left even the strongest of leaders emotional.

A series of fortunate events and living in a small town led hockey player Natalie Vibert to UConn four years ago.



"I signed late," Vibert said of her decision to come to Storrs. "It was down to the wire and I based it on coach [Heather Linstad]. She had a better reputation than anyone else.

Larry Day - Catcher - This year's co-captain was a Third Team All-Big East selection in 2006 and a pre-season All-Big East selection in 2007.
